Two Italian B wines

Time to try two Italian B wines, and with B I mean two producers that start with a B. namely, Biscardo and Bersano. First up is Biscardo and their wine Borgoa San Lorenzo which is a Soave Classico wine from Veneto. The grapes are Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave and the vintage is 2016 with an ABV of 13%. This wine has a deep flavour with some nice grapefruit and apples. Very nice.

Second winery is Bersano from Piemonte and the wine Roero Arneis. This wine is from 2016 and the ABV is 14%. The grape is 100% Arneis. I get honey, melon and a wee bit citrus in the taste. A very well balanced wine.

Prosecco and the Pinot

Italy produces a lot of good sparkling wine. I have drunk some Prosecco and they are usually light and fresh. The Carpene Malvolti brut is not different. It has a very good taste of citrus and pears and is very good.

The next sparkling wine comes from a region which I don't drink so much wine from. Lombardy does not produce so much famous wine except for their sparkling wine made in Franciacorte and Oltrepo Pavese. The wine Oltrepo Pavese DOP Pinot Spumante is a sparkling wine from the producer Bersano which is a big producer in Lombardy. This wine is made of Pinot Noir according to the Charmat method. The taste is of apples and bread but still light and well tasting.A good sparkling wine made for aperitif or light meals.
